DENKI GROOVE - MONONOKE DANCE, lyrics translated

 Translated this because I couldn't find a full translation to english of the lyrics. All that I found was of the part of the song used in the opening of Hakaba kitarô.

In the murky darkness, the Mononoke*0 dance 

In the depths of darkness, the Mononoke Dance 

Seen from the veranda, the Mononoke glance*1

Appearing and disappearing, the Mononoke stance

The dead are crazy, a bottomless sensation

Transforming in the midnight, from now on, it will never end.

Devouring the children, the Mononoke transe*1

Hiding in your basement, the Mononoke glance*1

That old wives' tale, a manji*2 in your palm.

These odd neighbors, from now on, it will never end.

A giant in the temple, incarnation of the scarab.

The circle of cadavers, from now on, it will never end.

But no one ever cares, being honest.

But no one ever cares, being honest.

*0 - Old Japanese word for an evil spirit.

*1- These words were altered to keep the rhymes with dance. The words replaced were: Deyansu (particle that adds politeness in some dialects) with glance and Tansu (cabinet) with transe.

*2- Japanese name for the Buddhist swastika.

 

original lyrics:

黒い闇の中 物の怪がダンス

暗闇の奥で 物の怪のダンス

 

ベランダで見てる 物の怪でヤンス

消えて現れる 物の怪スタンス

 

亡者はCRAZY 底なしの感じ

丑三つに変身 そこからは終わりが無い

 

子供を飲み込む 物の怪のタンス

屋根裏に潜む 物の怪でヤンス

 

老婆の迷信 手のひらに卍

あやかしの隣人 どこまでも終わりが無い

 

神社に巨人 スカラベの分身

屍の円陣 果てしなく終わりが無い

 

誰も一切かまわない何も実際

誰も一切かまわない何も実際
